    Help, please: Massive Steel Background Removing

    Axes are typically hardened steel which makes them nearly impossible to hand engrave. As SamW said, acid etching might be your only option. Personally, I would never attempt this unless I knew for certain the steel was a mild, engravable steel.

    Harbor Freight Recommendation

    Question: MAC vs PC for drawing and designing?

    Mac is hands down the computer for the creative professional. Audio, video, print, graphics, etc. At the end of the day graphics done on a PC are just as good though.

    Safe travel

    I don't trust my steed, so Abigail and I will arrive in a nice, warm Southwest jet. Looking forward to seeing everyone. I had some prints made of my upcoming Grandmasters project. If you'd like one, stop by the GRS booth. Supply is limited.

    1943 Copper penny...
